Do you want to be free? What is EFT?EFT is a simple, non-intrusive, method of defusing emotional issues and reducing the level of stress most people feel in everyday life. It is a relatively new technique developed in the USA by Gary Craig and is now becoming more widely used and taught. It is not hypnotherapy or psychotherapy but is much simpler to learn and use than either of these therapies, so simple in fact that you can learn how to apply it in a few minutes and use it regularly on a self-help basis whenever an emotional issue, fear or phobia occurs in your life. As well as relieving specific problems it has a cumulative effect - each issue addressed (and everyone on the planet has many) will help to reduce the overall stress level experienced. Life becomes easier and freer with every session as you lose your fears, phobias and limitations. It is amazing! How is EFT carried out?All that is necessary to reduce the emotional sting of many issues is to focus on the problem and summarize it in an affirmation. Then, while keeping the affirmation in mind a series of points on the chest, face and hands are tapped several times, some specific eye movements are carried out, a short tune hummed and you count 1-5. The whole procedure takes about 2 minutes once you are familiar with the sequence and short cuts are available once you know what to do. It sounds ridiculous! How does EFT work?Every emotional upset you ever experience is stored in memory. Remembering the incident or having something happen which is similar will trigger the memory and also the emotional charge which is attached to it. This manifests as an interference in the normal energy flow through the body and gives you the bad feelings. EFT works by accessing the energy flow routes (meridians) while the interference is present i.e. while you are thinking of the issue. The tapping, eye movements, humming and counting all access different areas of the brain and work together to reduce the interference and therefore the bad feelings. Simple issues may be cleared with one round of EFT. More complex ones may require repeat rounds with the issue being dealt with from a different perspective each time. It is very rare for anyone to show absolutely no improvement with this technique and most people are amazed by how effective it is. What conditions can be helped with EFT?
Most illnesses are thought to have a basis in emotional issues; stress plays a major role in the disease process. If you relieve the stress, you allow the body to recover in its own time. (Obviously this does not apply to injuries or to missing body parts – you will not grow a new leg by using EFT, but you may well be able to adjust how you feel about your new artificial one!)
